On Sept. 24, the FDA held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to highlight the completion of the 64,000-square-foot expansion and renovation of the National Forensic Chemistry Center (NFCC) in Cincinnati, Ohio. 

The goal of this revitalization effort was to improve FDA’s mission readiness nationally and help attract and retain highly qualified employees. The NFCC is a specialty laboratory that serves as the FDA’s national forensic laboratory providing specialized laboratory services in analytical chemistry and molecular/ microbiology related to adulteration/contamination, counterfeiting and product tampering of FDA regulated commodities including drugs, dietary supplements, foods, cosmetics, veterinary feeds and medical devices.
